Concept: Home Page Workspace

The People Experience Home page provides a single place for home page configurations.
  • Home Cards Workspace
    report provides you with a central place to create and configure Home page cards.
  • Settings
    allows you to customize certain sections of the Home page.

All Cards

The
All Cards
grid on the
Home Cards Workspace
report displays both published and unpublished cards. The grid displays the
Name
,
Status
,
Displayed In
,
Product Area
,
Type
, and
Last Modified
fields. Cards on the
All Cards
grid remain unpublished to your workers' Home page until you select the
Publish
option on the card. You can
Publish
,
Unpublish
, and
Remove
multiple cards all at once. You must edit and complete all required fields for external cards before you can publish the card to the Home page.
You can't change which section cards and links display in. Any card you add displays in 1 of these Home page sections, providing workers with access to information from a central place:
  • Recommended For You
  • Timely Suggestions
You can preview how the cards display on the People Experience Home page to simplify how you manage cards. To preview a card, you can select the card and then the
Preview
option. You can only preview some Workday-delivered cards.
You can:
  • Sort the cards in the
    All Cards
    and
    Available Cards
    grids that enable you to search, edit, and organize your cards more easily.
  • Click the
    Resources
    icon on the top-right corner of the page that has links to the:
    • What's New in Workday
    • Workday Administrator Guide
    • Brainstorm on Community

Workday-Delivered Cards

The cards display on the People Experience Home page for workers with security access to the:
  • Domain that secures the card.
  • Tasks and reports that the card links to.
Example: When you add the
Expiring Certifications
card on the Home page, only workers with access to the
Edit Certification
task and the
Self-Service: Certifications
domain in the Talent Core functional area can see the card.
You can edit the title, subtitle, and display customized schedule of some of the Workday-delivered cards.
When editing a card, the
Time Before Event
and
Time After Event
fields control the display time frame of the card. The event refers to the date on which the card is anchored to display to the user.
Example: The event for the Birthday for Worker card is the user's birthday, and the event for the Anniversary for Worker card is yearly based on the user's hire date.
Example: Betty wants the View Check-ins card to display for employees for 2 weeks.
Betty edits the View Check-ins card and selects these values:
  • Time Before Event:
    2 weeks before
  • Time After Event:
    On the day of the event
Workday then displays the card for 2 weeks before the user's check-in date until the actual day of the check-in date.
You can customize the display schedules on the
Edit Card
task. When you select the
Use Custom Schedule
field, it enables you to override the automatic display schedule for the Workday-delivered cards.
The fields that enable you to specify exact dates and recurrence schedules are:
  • First displays On
  • First Disappears On
  • Repeats Every
The
Display Summary
field summarizes your configured display schedule.
